Client Testimonials

‘I found it really useful to have some direct resources to hand out or use with YP, as we often have to signpost to service’s we know will take a long time. It can be frustrating to not have something more immediate and this mental health toolkit will all really help.’

Youth worker

Basingstoke YMCA

‘When Covid 19 hit the nation and lockdown began, our greatest concern was the well-being of the young people we work with and their families. The pandemic itself was causing young people and their parents to feel overwhelmed, and it was important to enable those households to talk about their emotions so they could better understand them and manage them during this particularly challenging time. The Happy Kit enabled us to support families when we were forced to pause our services, extending an olive branch of support to vulnerable household and providing a tool that would help the young people feel more in control of how they were feeling. It is an excellent resource, and one that we continue to refer to when supporting our young people and families virtually.’

‘I really liked how open and honest Stacey was about her own experiences. It made it feel like a safe space. I’m going to remind myself of the mindfulness and being present & focus on what I can control.’

Youth worker

Energy youth centre, Eastleigh

Nothing I didn’t like … but I have some great content on handling stress and building resilience which I think would also futureproof the team from mental health challenges 🙂
